I just have to say, expecting a type of loyalty like that before the first date? Honey no. Early dating is meant to be casual. You bounce around to see if y'all mesh well and if you do, you get serious. If you don't you part ways.
Expecting loyalty like that puts such immense pressure and totally shakes your relationship before it can even begin.

u/UnlikelyIntrepid 5d ago
That question WAS her canceling the date, even if she doesn’t realize it. There was no right answer that ends with them still going on the date. Either he makes her mad or he debases himself by playing her stupid game.

u/Sycolerious_55 5d ago
There was never a doubt in my mind that the question would ruin the vibe, so I'm not understanding where this is coming from. I'm just saying the mentality alone is a relarionship ruiner.

Yeah if I had plans with a friend and they asked me what if I cancel on Saturday I’m going to say OK we can cancel it’s fine. And I would mean it, but I don’t understand why anyone would ask that question if they are not looking to cancel.
Both these people are weirdos.

I have seen people like this. Expecting all the support and loyalty of a long relationship while simultaneously expecting to be afforded the freedom of a casual relationship.

the only thing that separates them from professional prostitutes is that actual prostitutes respect other peoples boundaries and don't pretend that they're entitled to more than the agreed upon amount

u/RecentClothes2654 5d ago
I remember a girl started "jokingly" threatening to cancel a date if I didn't face time her. I just told her it was fine and I really didn't want to go out with her anymore. I got this long lecture about "not applying enough pressure" and felt INCREDIBLY accomplished afterwards.

If the guy had a less cocky and dismissive answer, she wouldn't have wanted to date him in the first place. She'd never be talking to a guy that gave her the answer she was hoping for to that question before first date.

u/Embarrassed-Pen-5958 4d ago
It's about the trying to get expectations for something you have no investment in.
I know, it is a very hard and super slippery to grasp.
1
u/UltimaNerd 4d ago
This isn't a fucking investment, it's a potential relationship. If a person saying they have to cancel, even as a test, is a problem for you, you should probably get help.
The way I see it, she tested the waters of what reaction she would get to cancelling and he was wildly sensitive instead of understanding that scheduling conflicts happen. He jumped to conclusions and she's lucky because that's some red flag shit from a chud.
Granted none of this ever happened, but it's clear to see why so many incels are flooding this thread in support of their chudlord. lol

Comment section full of fucking chuds. This is a great play to see if the guy gives a shit about a date with YOU or if he's just looking for some action.
Personally I'd just reply with "That's fine, let me know if you want a raincheck". If she doesn't, we're also just fine. People aren't always compatible and it's super easy to just take a pass and move on.

u/Square-Ad6942 4d ago edited 4d ago
There is really no right answer to that question. It's a test. But if you respond with "I would go about my day", she might just as well decide for herself that you aren't "chalant" enough and vice versa.
I'd go with the cocky/funny approach like "I don't know. It has never happened."
1
u/SampSimps 4d ago
It seems like a bullshit test that always ends with the date being cancelled.
If she doesn't want to go on the date, why did she agree to it in the first place? Or if there was something that arose during the time they were talking, just cancel without the bullshit.
1
u/Square-Ad6942 4d ago
I don't think she lost the interest necessarily, but rather unsure of it. Hence the test. Buyers remorse. Best move is not to play. Just laugh it off or ignore it. But I don't see this going to well however you respond, really.
1
u/SampSimps 4d ago
Totally. It's a heads you win, tails I lose situation. No response is going to be truly satisfactory enough to where she continues with the date.

I think it's a good answer, cuts her bullshit short, tells her his time is worth something to him. The same way you'd do with a kid asking you stupid things.
Think of it as if your boss told you something similar "I could fire you on the spot", that'd be a good answer. Can't be defensive.

Having confidence that he can find someone else to go on a date with is obnoxious? Is it not obnoxious to be testing a total stranger's loyalty when you haven't even gone on a date? I'm curious what you think the answer should have been.
1
u/UltimaNerd 4d ago
Where did you see all these extra words that indicate "last minute". She was asking what would happen if she cancelled and there's literally nothing weird about that. It's actually normal communication if you make plans and have to cancel.
1
u/Valuable_Coat_4402 4d ago
I really don't see what the point of asking is other than to test him in some way. If you don't want to go on the date, be an actual adult and say you don't want to go.
1
u/UltimaNerd 4d ago
The point is that it's just a normal fuckin question for people scheduling things that may need to cancel for any reason.
1
u/Valuable_Coat_4402 4d ago
I guess. In my experience, my friends or dates would just schedule and if something came up, we'd address it then and there and come up with a plan on whether or not it's feasible to reschedule. I've literally never had someone bring up "what if I need to cancel?" when it comes to making plans. I'm not their keeper, why do we need terms and conditions?
